I'm neutral. I'm an alliance player, and the Forsaken have done a lot of shitting on the alliance. But I kind of feel sorry for her in a way after what she's been through. She was ultimately forced into what she is now and didn't ask for it.

I'm a Forsaken. I kill firstborns while their mamas watch. I turn cities into salt. I even, when I feel like it, rip the souls from little girls, and from now till kingdom come, the only thing you can count on in your existence is never understanding why.

She's died three times. That's right, three. Killed by Arthas. Jumped off Icecrown citadel. Shot in the back of the head by Godfrey. At least Garrosh is going to have the decency to STAY dead.

She's had her ass whooped a further three times. She got kicked out of her OWN CITY, got beaten up by Arthas... AGAIN... and got her ass handed to her by the Gilnean people.

So we have a leader that's had five total ass whoopings, and a suicide thrown in for good measure. She's the Sean Bean of Warcraft.

And then she acts like a smug, pretentious bitch (which I'm guessing is what everyone is misinterpreting as "edgy") without any justification; she's a freakin' hipster for god's sake. People that die three times shouldn't act high and mighty. And even more, every time her army has fought another faction, they've required a complete, out-of-left-field measure to save themselves from being completely and utterly defeated.

She's a female leader in skimpy armor who follows the same trite "rebellious, do-what-I-want" mindset despite what should have been crushingly humbling occurrences happening to her TIME and TIME again. That's why people like her. It's not because she's a powerful, or well written, or original character in the least.

So no, I don't I like her.

And people complain that Alliance characters are portrayed poorly...

"It's meant to be an ironic statement about the cyclical nature of death.
It's art. You wouldn't understand."

"I felt that Arthas was becoming too much of a sellout with his vision of the scourge, so I decided to take the project in my own direction. You know, not everyone likes my style, but I don't expect the plebe to be able to appreciate the subtleties of a well-traveled artistic weltanschauung such as mine"

“Do not lose time on daily trivialities. Do not dwell on petty detail. For all of these things melt away and drift apart within the obscure traffic of time. Live well and live broadly. You are alive and living now. Now is the envy of all of the dead.” ~ Emily3, World of Tomorrow

FYI, I am too in the wagon that "Hipster Sylvanas is the best thing ever.
